William Harcourt is a member of an alien species called Tenctonese, they are a race from the planet Tencton, who were used as slaves who can adapt in any environment, geneticlly engineered to work in any environment. The Tecntonese ship crashed on Earth in the year 1991 and with no way to leave Earth are allowed to live among humans. The Tenctonese are called "Newcomers" by humans cause they are new to Earth.

William Harcourt is a businessman and drug dealer in Los Angeles. He along with his associate Rudyard Kipling were distributing a drug called "Jabluka", a drug that was given to the slaves. When the drug is taken, it increases strength, the more they get, the harder they worked, the harder they worked, the more they get. Harcourt was using a oil refinery to make Jabluka as a front for his business. Harcourt had a Newcomer named Warren Hubley murdered in a smokescreen robbery in a store in "Tenctown", a neighborhood with a lot of Newcomers. Rudyard Kipling was apart of the robbery with Martin Helder, a human and another Newcomer. The robbery resulted in the death of a cop named Bill Tuggle, partner of Matthew Sikes, who later on with newly promoted Newcomer detective George Francisco who are on the case.

After Sykes and Francisco leave, Harcourt tells Kipling that they have a problem and must be taken care of, the problem he is taking about is a Newcomer business associate Joshua Strader. Harcourt has Joshua Strader murdered by having some human associates throw him into the sea water along the beach cause sea water is harmful to Newcomers cause it is like battery acid to them. Joshua Strader is murdered cause he refused to be apart of William Harcourt's distribution of Jabluka.
